I’ve been thinking about switching more of my shopping to 2nd hand clothes online instead of always buying new, but I’m still unsure if it’s truly worth it. Some people say it saves a lot of money and is better for the environment, while others complain about sizing, quality, and returns.

If you’ve tried buying 2nd hand clothes online, how was your experience? Did you feel it was a good deal overall, and do you think it actually helps with sustainability or is it more of a small lifestyle choice?

Hey everyone,

Random off‑topic question: is anyone here trying to shop more sustainably with thrift clothing online instead of fast fashion? Thrifting keeps clothes in use longer, cuts down waste, and saves a lot of resources like water and energy.

Would love to hear if you’ve found any good online thrift stores or tips for building a budget‑friendly, eco‑friendly wardrobe.

I've been making the shift from fast fashion to thrift clothing lately, and honestly, it's been a game-changer for my wardrobe and wallet.

Shopping for thrift clothing online has its learning curve though. I've found that curated vintage shops are way more reliable than massive marketplaces where quality is hit-or-miss. When sellers actually authenticate and describe their thrift clothing properly, it makes the whole experience smoother.

What I've learned so far:

• Check measurements religiously (vintage sizing is different!)
• Look for detailed photos and fabric descriptions
• Curated thrift clothing sites save tons of time vs. endless scrolling
• The quality difference from older pieces is actually noticeable

The best part? Finding unique thrift clothing pieces that nobody else has, plus knowing I'm not contributing to fast fashion waste.

For those already shopping secondhand – any tips on finding reliable thrift clothing sources online? Would love to hear what's worked for you!
